I love how genuinely worked up Karl gets in these hypothetical scenarios with assigned roles Ricky always proposes acting out :-) It's why he was so naturally brilliant in _Derek_: he seems to forget he's playacting, and emotionally responds as if he's in the situation for real. Method acting at its finest :-)

Holocaust Preference or you could say it like: Karl lives in Narnia, Ricky and Steve in the real world. Your point would hold true if he only came up with concepts for an ideal world. But he also thinks up: lets have childrens whilst we're old and dying. Much better that. Great out of the box thinking, but he honestly sees it as a good idea, not as a concept. And only as solutions to things that annoy him, specifically. He doesn't even grasp the term 'analogy' fully. It's the difference between conciously thinking up 'weird' ideas (to get in a creative flow) and just having them pop in and out your mind.
